Game Thread Sep 20/19 Red Sox (Porcello) @ Rays (Morton)

[TylerD]

2 good starts in a row. If he'd re-sign for one year for 5-6 million you'd have to do it. But if he ends the season well someone will give him more than that, hefty ERA and all.

 

So I know Rick obviously will go where the money is however he said he really wants to stay in Boston. Is there anyway he would stay with us even if a team like Toronto offered him more?

POR's gone after this season.

Very hard to say.

Gorkys and Owings have to be the worst pair of late-season 'additions' to a team's offense in history.

 

Gorkys was in Pawtucket all year so he’s not a late season addition.

[mvp 78]

Rays announcers “that makes you sick.”

Lol

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Moreland insalts Morton.

I searched the internet to see why Beni was taken out of game and I got this: "Benintendi taken out of game of thrones." I didn't even know he was in that series.

 

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Red Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi left Friday’s game against the Rays due to a left thumb contusion, the team announced. He’s considered day-to-day.

 

Benintendi got jammed on a pitch during his second-inning at-bat and was replaced in the field by Gorkys Hernandez in the bottom of the inning. Benintendi popped out to third in his only plate appearance of the night.

Mitchie 4 bags does it to Morton. Cleveland winning, Rays crying. Splendid Splinter prepping for winter

COMBINED BA's of about .230

Yup; I'm gonna have my head frozen.

Like I said above.

C'mon, it's a minor fudging of facts. He was signed in December/18, I realize that. The real issue is that we didn't have anybody better than these two whiffle bats to bolster our lineup late in the season. That's been kind of overlooked because of all the pitching woes.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Great start for POR tonight. Why he was taken out is a head scratcher.

[TylerD]

Maybe this game ends 2-0??

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Btw, that fishing trip on Lake Tahoe I mentioned earlier. There's no reason not to also invite WTF.

[vegasbob]

Dar cannot throw a strike.

Maybe not?

[vegasbob]

When you are wild, you don't get calls. WTF managing in big trouble late in the game.

[TylerD]

I h boy here we go. Ugh.

Fishing trip on Lake Tahoe refers to scene in GODFATHER II, if anyone actually gives a s***.

You really are a sick individual when it comes to Cora. Fire him, fine. Joking about killing him is sick.

Note to Illinoisred: I posted this before D-hern s*** his pants.

Geez, loosen your jock strap.

[TylerD]

So much for that.

Noted, and I agreed with your thought, especially at 87 pitches.

 

I’m listening on XM Radio outside Yellowstone NP. I’m refraining from posting reactions to the game due to the time delay on the broadcast, which can be 3-4 minutes based on experience.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

So much for that.

 

 

Ah, WTF, it's only a game.

[TylerD]

Ah, WTF, it's only a game.

 

We don’t get many performances like that from Porcello lol. Would have been nice to win it for him.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

A change of scenery will probably be a good thing for POR.

[Station 13]

literally throwing the game away.

[illinoisredsox]

Aw, WTF, it's only a game.

 

Only thing I’ll say is he needs to find out what DHern can do in game pressure situations. Overall, the results have not been great this year for Darwinzon in that regard.

 

Obviously the move didn’t work, but those screaming for see what the kids can do should be happy.
